Janet:

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that all of us who live with chronic pain due to ARD are behind you! And, most of us have been there. My husband is supportive to a point. He gets tired of it at times and only once in the 9 years that I have been dealing with it has he ever really complained. But when he did, it hurt terribly! I now just try to please him even with the pain I feel..but sometimes it is so hard! It is great, though, that your parents are supportive of you. I don't have anyone I can really "run" to, my parents are both gone and my sister lives too far away! I am able to keep working, although, some days it is hard! But, keep your chin up and let us know how you are once you are settled in at home in Texas!

Love,

--
